"It may look incredible to other people but to me it's completely normal," Danilovic said. "I was born that way. It's just the way I see the world."
Experts from Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been consulted after local doctors were flummoxed by the extremely unusual condition. They say she is suffering from a neurological syndrome called "spatial orientation phenomenon."
"They say my eyes see the images the right way up but my brain changes them," Danilovic said. "But they don't really seem to know exactly how it happens, just that it does and where it happens in my brain. They told me they've seen the case histories of some people who write the way I see, but never someone quite like me."

Optically, the image hits your retina inverted anyway. It's just after you're born your brain works out it's inverted and flips it for you.
There's an experiment where if you wear glasses which invert what you see, after a few days or weeks, your brain gets used to this and flips the image back. Of course the problem with this is once you take the glasses off, you then have to go through it all over again.
I think I'd be in an eternal state of confusion if I tried that.
